Jovani Ruff had a stellar sophomore campaign last season on the basketball court. He averaged 19.5 points, 6 boards, and nearly 2 assists per game. Ruff asserted himself as not only one of the top-rated players in California but one of the 2025 class’ best overall prospects.
Ruff has been amazing this year as well. His junior campaign is still early in its progression, but he’s already averaging 21.5 points, 5.5 boards, and nearly 3 assists per game.
The 6-foot-5 guard from Long Beach (California) is one of the best offensive players in the loaded 2025 class. Ruff has visits set up with UCLA, Cal, Kansas, Oregon and Washington, and he has offers from over 20 total schools.
According to Verbal Commits, LSU, Nebraska, Texas A&M, and Arizona State all offered Ruff on Saturday. This is an in-demand player, an impactful player USC really needs after its bitterly disappointing 2023-2024 season. The Trojans will need to find someone who can raise the bar and compensate for the impending departures of Isaiah Collier and Boogie Ellis from the current roster.
2025 4⭐️ Jovani Ruff has taken official visits to Cal and Washington, so far, during his junior year.
Ruff is a skilled three-level scorer with a smooth offensive game. Has a very good overall feel for the game and is a good playmaker with the ball in his hands.
